Abstract
This chapter reviews the interrelation between collaborative governance (CG) and regulation and the way CG principles are reflected in the development of regulatory theory. CG is a governing method involving government and nongovernment partners. The use of CG can be found in many policy areas. The method is also used in regulation and in various models that can be framed as “collaborative regulation” (CR). Despite the close connection between CG and CR, they are discussed separately in the literature and without any reference as to how the two are interrelated. The regulatory literature is also missing an analytic overview of the roots and development of CR and its relation with voluntary regulation models. The chapter aims to fill this gap in the literature.

Notes
- 1.
The literature on the changes in governance and its implications to the regulatory field deals with the local and international arena. This chapter discusses only the former. For general discussion on regulation in the international arena and the globalization of regulation, see Drahos and Braithwaite (2001), Mattli and Woods (2009), Abbott and Snidal (2009, 2013).
- 2.
The full costs incurred by the regulatees and not only the regulator, including the rise in production costs and weakening competitiveness. Eventually, these have negative effect on the local economy.
- 3.
The practice of regulatory negotiation in the US turned into a law. First in the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990 and later in the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1996 (Coglianese 1997).
- 4.
In that regard, it is interesting to see the overlap in timetables between the beginning of the second period and the emergence of the discussion about the NPM in the early 1990s, and between the second section of the second period and the critical discussion about the results of the NPM (post-NPM).

Abbott and Snidal (2009) substantiate the argument in the international level. Although there aren’t equivalent figures in the local level about VR regimes, it is safe to assume that in this level the picture would not be different and might even be stronger. Since in the local level governments enjoy broad mandate (unlike international organizations), we may expect nongovernmental actors to find this avenue more natural.

Researchers do compare the use of VR between governments in Europe and the US and indicate a tendency to a lesser use of these methods in the US. This tendency is related to adversary tradition between state and business sectors, unlike the history of use in Corporatist and Neo-corporatist models in the continent. It is also claimed that when US government uses VR, it tends to use VR by the state—such as enforced self-regulation—unlike European states who also ally themselves with autonomous initiatives and grant them public recognition and support (Brouhle et al. 2005).
